[Jason's exhausted after doing his part in stopping the invasion. But he still has just enough stamina to check out the hotel and see who are the new arrivals this time. It's become a habit of his after a particularly wild event like today's. It's a way to scope out any potentially unpleasant surprises.

It's with that mentality he spots Ted. Strangely, it's the middle-aged man's mostly normal appearance that's striking to Jason, given the kind of people he usually deals with. Taking note of the man's body language, clothes, and physique, Jason thinks Ted looks like an American suburban dad who has a non-white collar job. Maybe he also coaches a Little League sports team, or maybe high school depending on the season. The man's facial expression is what tells Jason he just made it through the invasion.

Jason sympathetic. What just happened would shock plenty of people.]

Rough day for you too?

[Jason figures there's no harm in talking for now. The small talk could lead to nothing but just strangers having gone through some Bad Shit together.

Jason's clothes are partially covered in debris dust but the most telling signs of his Red Hood suit like his guns and his helmet have already been put away. To most people, he just looks like a tired guy in his early 20s]
